i dont know what happened but now every time i login my mail opens on the desktop. i checked login items and its not there, so i put it there and checked hide it, but still it opens on login to the desktop. i really dont know where else to look.

not 100% sure what you mean. i checked my login items and mail isnt in there. figured if it was i could check it to hide it, but its not in there, i put it in there and checked it and still it came up. if i go to over menu and click quit mail then its fine but if i just click the upper left red dot on the corner it will pop back up on login.

Lion itself has the option to restart your programs every time it starts.
This option is regardless of the settings of login items.
Lion will open any programs that you have running when you shut it down.
If you don't want it to do this you must choose to uncheck "reopen programs at login"
